Electrical stimulation during assisted cycling for recent spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial combines a special type of electrical stimulation on the back (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation) with assisted cycling to help people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. It is designed for people who have had an incomplete spinal cord injury within the past year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury must be between the neck (C2) and upper back (T11), and classified as ASIA Impairment Scale B, C, or D.
- The injury must have happened within the last year.
- You need to be able to follow instructions and tolerate the treatment.
- Spasticity (muscle tightness) must be mild (less than 3 on a standard scale).
- You cannot have certain health issues like epilepsy, severe heart disease, active infections, unhealed fractures, or osteoporosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of leg muscles, combined with gait training, can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. Electrical stimulation works by sending mild electrical pulses to trigger muscle contractions, potentially improving strength and walking ability.
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (called TENS) can help recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are already in the ICU with a drain in their lower back and had a blunt injury within the past 12 hours.
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
